We had a great experience at Niji Sushi Bar & Grill, our waitress was so sweet also. Kaya went above and beyond our expectations as a waitress, very observant to our needs, very courteous and friendly. The food was amazingly good! Our appetizer (monkey ball) was excellent, hot melted in your mouth. The salad was fresh. The sushi was just right, the rice was soft, very fresh fish, the plating was nice, the flavors completely made it! We had the Spicey Tuna, Mango Tango and King Kong, I would recommend either of them! Then we had a Miso Ramen Bowl, it came out steaming, everything in it was cooked just right, right down to the center of the egg. Great place to eat! Great waitress, perfect experience! Thank you!

great sushi!!!! wow. finally after trying like 4 other places since moving here. decent prices. decent portions.. great outside seating.. inside crowded imo and some tables just suk. lol.. busy. we loved the TNT roll and the white Tuna 2 piece is amazeballs!

Best tasting and best presentation of pineapple fried rice in town! ? ? Their ramen is delicious too, rivals Omo and Karai. They have alot of options and a nice bar, can't wait to go back and try something else!

Decent sushi. Nothing bad but also nothing exceptional. Service was good. Place is fun and bright. Prices are average for a sushi place. Lots of choices. They even have a cucumber roll without rice, so if you're avoiding carbs you can still eat here.

Thanks to the staff of Niji, especially our server, twotwo, For such a wonderful meal and experience! We have always thought of this place as a hidden gem.. And this trip was the best we've ever had! We look forward to more laughter, kindness, and tequila shots in the future!

I am writing this review of Niji out of disappointment and frustration with this food establishment.For those who do not necessarily want to read the entirety of this review, the shortened version is as followed: the company is at this point refusing to refund me (when it was promised-- the WHOLE bill) for our meal after 4-5 weeks with several phone calls, we had to throw out our food and could not finish because it was so bad, and overall poor presentation/meal/customer service for a ‘fine dining’ establishment. Below this will be elaborated.My fiance and I decided to try Nji for takeout on April 24th after our favorite ramen shops were either closed or had a long wait. The online menu looked promising, and we ordered two bowls of ramen as well as a roll of sushi. Pickup was fine, but the disappointment for the meal started when we got home.First, how the food came. Our noodles, vegetables, and meat came in a 3-compartment styrofoam container, which was cold. I first thought we picked up someone else’s order, as this looked more like a stir fry than ramen. The broth came in a small plastic container, which meant that we HAD to pull out our own dishware to eat our food. For reference, EVERY other place we have ordered ramen, the food comes in a large plastic bowl to-go container where you can mix everything together. Again, the food was cold and we had to warm it up.Second, the contents of the ramen. Our ramen came with corn, peas, and green beans- the latter two I have never seen in ramen. My ramen, the spicy tan tan, came with ground pork. Attached is a picture (I wish I took more)-- there were maybe 3-4 pieces of this, maybe 1 oz of meat. Prices are increasing, but if an establishment is charging 13+ for ramen, more than 1 oz should be expected. The pork honestly tasted like hamburger helper and was so dry that, again, we had to throw it out. My fiance ordered the miso ramen- Maruchan ramen has more flavor than Niji’s. My fiance had to add miso flavoring to stand it before we decided to throw it out and get food elsewhere. If this was served to me in the restaurant sit down, we both would have asked for the food to be sent back.After me being so upset with this meal that I was crying, my fiance called to ask for a refund-- the gentleman on the other end of the phone stated there would be one soon. After a week with no refund, my fiance called again- different person, she stated she would be looking into it and took my fiance's number and name to keep him updated. No update. Called AGAIN- stated they would be working on it. After checking about 2 and a half weeks from ordering, they finally refunded only one of the ramens, about $14 of the $40 spent. My fiance called for the 4th time- the woman on the phone stated that Niji doesn’t do refunds and could only give a gift card instead. Tune changed once my fiance stated that a partial refund had already been initiated. Transferred to a manager. Manager states we only asked for one of the ramens refunded- fiance stated we had to throw the food out and we wanted a full refund as it was promised to us ~3 weeks ago. Manager stated he would be working on it and should see a refund within the next couple of days. It’s been a week. No refund. At this point after 4 calls and nothing being done after a month, the communication and customer service at this facility is atrocious. Normally I do not do reviews, but I feel like this is necessary; we were looking forward to eating here and were hoping for a new regular place to go to, but we will never return, as the food is not worth it and feeling like I’m pulling teeth to get the refund I was promised.. Please consider other places to eat such as Sakuras, Omo, and Karai for better food and service.

Thanks to the staff of Niji, especially our server, twotwo, For such a wonderful meal and experience! We have always thought of this place as a hidden gem.. And this trip was the best we've ever had! We look forward to more laughter, kindness, and tequila shots in the future!

The staff was very friendly! I was uncomfortable with how dirty the facilities were. The restrooms were a significant sanitary issue, and the kitchen also had significant cleanliness issues just based on what was readily visible. I will give them another chance after I have seen a solid health inspection.

Our waitress was Kaya, and she was AMAZING! Super sweet, very kind to our daughter, and overall cheerful personality. Food was so good and the serving size was very generous. Will definitely go back!

First time there and we held a 21st birthday celebration. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind! So very helpful when one of the helium balloons escaped from the string? Mandy was our waitress and was truly amazing! What a great experience! Thank you so much Niji! I will refer you to everyone I know!!!
